PUBLIC COMMENT

Tim Thibedeau, 113 Massachusetts Ave., “What I am here to talk about is the water agreement we have with Green Island. I think it is time to take a second look at the contract and rates. Our rates have been increased twice, while Green Island has not gone up at all.”

Mayor Primeau, “Back then this rate was fair, and they are our neighbors. We are going into the budget season right now, so this is something we will look into in the future.”

Council Member Turcotte, “We need to examine this carefully; we do not want to drive them away.”
